Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a
method for precipitating polyphenylene ether which
decreases the number of fine particles thereof and reduces
periodic fluctuations in particle size, thereby being able
to stably produce homogeneous polyphenylene ether
particles. The invention relates to a method for
precipitating polyphenylene ether by mixing a
polyphenylene ether solution comprising polyphenylene
ether and a good solvent therefor with a poor solvent for
polyphenylene ether to precipitate polyphenylene ether
particles, the method comprising: using a precipitation
tank equipped with (a) a draft tube, (b) an at least one-stage
stirring blade disposed in the draft tube and
selected from an inclined paddle blade, a screw blade and
a ribbon blade, (c) one or more baffles disposed on the
outside of the draft tube, (d) a solution supply port, (e)
a poor solvent supply port and (f) an exhaust port; adding,
to a mixed solution comprising the good solvent, the poor
solvent and polyphenylene ether particles and circularly
flowing by rotation of the stirring blade (b), the
polyphenylene ether solution from the solution supply port
(d) and concurrently a poor solvent from the poor solvent
supply port (e), thereby precipitating polyphenylene ether 
particles; and discharging and recovering the precipitated
polyphenylene ether particles together with the mixed

Inventor: BOWEN ED
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-10-30
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for controlling flow rates of a plurality of data packet flows into a queue 4 corresponding to a resource 3 of a network device 1 . The flows comprise a set 7 of non-responsive flows, and a set 8 of other flows which may comprise responsive flows and/or flows whose responsiveness is unknown. The flow rates are managed in accordance with a queue management scheme such that adjustments are made to each flow rate in dependence on excess bandwidth in the resource, the amounts of the adjustments being dependent on one or more adjustment parameters for each flow. An error signal is generated based on the deviation from a desired allocation ratio of the ratio of the total flow rates into the queue 4 for the sets of flows 7, 8 . At least one adjustment parameter for at least one flow is then varied in dependence on the error signal in such a manner as to reduce the aforementioned deviation. A closed-loop control scheme thus operates in conjunction with the underlying queue management scheme to promote fair bandwidth allocation even in the presence of a mix of responsive and non-responsive flows.

Title: Method for preparing a silica suspension in a potentially crosslinkable silicone material
Inventor: CHAUSSADE MARC
IPC: C08J3/20
Filed: 2003-12-19
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for preparing a precipitated silica suspension in a silicone oil, said suspension being useable for producing silicones crosslinkable by polyaddition, polycondensation or condensation by dehydrogenation (elastomers). The invention aims at solving the problem of finding a compromise between cost, rheology and mechanical properties of the final elastomers. Therefor, the invention provides a method for preparing a precipitated silica suspension treated with trimethylchlorosilane, in the presence of hexamethyldisiloxane, in a crosslinkable silicone oil. HCI can be used. Grafting of the hydrophobic units on the silica and incorporation of the polyorganosiloxane silicone material are carried out during one single processing sequence, without passing through the powder form of the silica. Sodium silicate promoting MQ resin can be incorporated in the reaction medium. The invention also concerns the preparation of a crosslinkable silicone elastomer composition from said suspension, and the resulting composition.

Abstract: A programming device compares filter information to information that describes possible combinations of the electrodes within an electrode set implanted in a patient. The filter information describes at least one characteristic of valid, e.g., desired, electrode combinations, and in exemplary embodiments, is received from a user, e.g., a clinician, via a user interface of the programming device. The filter information can describe a number of electrodes in valid combinations, a fixed polarity for an electrode for valid combinations, or relational characteristics of the electrodes of valid combinations. The comparison process may be iterative. The programming device identifies a subset of the possible electrode combinations based on the comparison. By identifying the valid subset of electrode combinations based on the filter information, the programming device may reduce the amount of clinician and patient time required to program an implantable neurostimulator.
